I have received the update/reminder below:
"I am writing to inform / remind you of the Armley Gyratory Wellington Road (A58) footbridge demolition this weekend.
The removal of the Wellington Road footbridge (A58) over the Armley Gyratory is to begin at 8pm Saturday 27 July and end by 6am Monday 29 July.
Road closures will include the closure of Wellington Road between Wellington Street and Armley Gyratory along Wellington Road between Armley Gyratory and Armley Road, with Local essential access to properties and emergency access will be maintained at all times.
This is the third and final footbridge around the Gyratory to have new wider and more accessible footway, after Gelderd Road and Spence Lane.
Wellington Road footbridge is a 25 metres span footbridge, comprising a temporary truss span that was installed in 2001, following a vehicle hitting the bridge that damaged the concrete main span. It will be demolished on site and the materials recycled. The new footbridge will be 43.5 metres long and three metres wide. It will cross over the A58 and includes improvements to both approach ramps to better meet the needs of non-motorised users and people with disabilities. All the new upgraded footbridges are designed to ensure they will need less maintenance work and inspection, over future decades.
Future partial weekend closures are planned to complete the works, possibly early in 2025 and details available on the project website www.leeds.gov.uk/ArmleyGyratory
The location and details of these works along with diversion routes are available on the Plan Ahead Leeds Website Reminder to plan ahead: this week major highways work starts for the school summer holidays (leeds.gov.uk)
